died at 2P. NJ, Oct. 2S, at WalIa
Walla, w. T., where he had made
his home since his retirement from
the charge of the Yakima Indian

under appointment as missionary to
Oregon. His first work on this
coast was at Salem, where he had
charge of the Oregon Institute, since

wards presiding elder of the upper
Willamette district. For twenty-four
years he was in charge of the Yakl-
ma Indian agency, since which time
he served the church as general edu-
cational and church extension agent

every department of his work he
proved himself man of rare execu-
tive force, and has left an unsullied
reputation, an enduring usefulness as
legacy to his church and the coun-
try he loved so well.

with whom he had lived fifty six
years, died and was buried in Lee
